Magnetic domain structures in arrays of submicron Co dots studied with magnetic force microscopy

Abstract
The magnetic properties of submicron circular epitaxial Co dot arrays fabricated by electron beam lithography have been studied as a function of thickness using high resolution magnetic force microscopy. As a function of thickness, in-plane single domain, vortex, or perpendicular multidomain phases have been identified. The evolution of the domain structures with dot thickness agrees well with theory.
